  until 1100 PM MDT.

* Primary threats include...
  Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
    mph possible

SUMMARY...Thunderstorm bands with potential severe wind gusts are
forecast to move into the Watch area this evening.  Peak gusts
associated with the stronger cores and downdrafts will likely range
in the 60-75 mph range.  This activity will gradually wane by late
evening into the early overnight period.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60

depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU1).

REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.

      WW 200 SEVERE TSTM ID UT WY 131950Z - 140200Z 
      
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 200
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
150 PM MDT Wed May 13 2026

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
  Eastern Idaho
  Northern Utah
  Western Wyoming

* Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 150 PM
  until 800 PM MDT.

* Primary threats include...
  Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
    mph possible

SUMMARY...Coverage of showers and thunderstorms is expected to
increase this afternoon and evening from northern Utah through
eastern Idaho and western Wyoming. High cloud bases, a deeply mixed
boundary layer, and moderate to strong mid-level flow support the
potential for strong to severe gusts with any deeper, more sustained
storms. Isolated gusts over 75 mph are possible.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 105
statute miles east and west of a line from 20 miles west northwest
of West Yellowstone MT to 60 miles south southeast of Salt Lake City
UT. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch
outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.

&&

OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 199...

AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few

      WW 199 SEVERE TSTM MT 131850Z - 140300Z 
      
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 199
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1250 PM MDT Wed May 13 2026

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
  Western and Central Montana

* Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 1250 PM
  until 900 PM MDT.

* Primary threats include...
  Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
    mph possible

SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage is expected to increase over the
next few hours as a strong shortwave trough progresses into the
region. Modest buoyancy atop a deeply mixed boundary layer will
support high-based storms capable of strong to severe wind gusts. A
few gusts over 75 mph are possible.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 100
statute miles east and west of a line from 50 miles northwest of
Havre MT to 50 miles east southeast of Dillon MT. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU9).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.
